The Streams web component serves as a wrapper for our Player component and can be found under the "Embed" tab inside the details page of a Stream.

Benefits of our web component

Our web component ensures that we automatically load the correct Player config, Analytics config and Manifest url for you, so you don't have to worry about it. So if you would re-encode your asset, our web component would poll for the latest updates and apply the new changes. Same for any Player configuration changes.

Implementation

Using the script tag

It doesn't require much to embed our web component, it can be implemented easily with a single line of code. Before that ensure to import our Bitmovin library.

<script type="module" src="https://streams.bitmovin.com/js/component.js"></script>

Using the NPM package

The Streams web component is also available as an npm package named bitmovin-streams. It can be installed with npm i bitmovin-streams and then imported into your application.

import {BitmovinStream} from 'bitmovin-streams';

After that, you can integrate our component by inserting the following tag with your StreamId, which can be found at the top inside a Stream detail page.

<bitmovin-stream stream-id="random-stream-id" />

Autogenerated code

With every Stream, we autogenerate the code snippet for you so that you can just easily copy & paste the above mentioned steps.
